[Q] universal inbox - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Hi All,
I'm just coming over to the S3 from a Motorola Photon.
I loved the universal inbox app on the photon (to be able to manage my 10 different emails (Gmail/Hotmail/Yahoo/Corporate etc).
Is there anything like this for the S3? The S3 email app is not as well organized as the Photon's was (each email had it's own icon i could click on an view emails from - instead on the S3 its more a drop-down selection). Could one port / take the photon's email app and install it on the S3 (where would I find this?)
Thanks!

Kaiten Email has a universal InBox, as does its free version, K-9 Mail.
I'm just a satisfied Kaiten Email purchaser.

I use K9.

Bummer... I was really hoping there would be another solution. K9 and Kaiten just aren't very clean/ slick interfaces...

you can try flashing the default samsung mail. It has combined mailbox.

OK, I guess that "clean/slick interfaces" didn't come through in your original post, though that's a highly subjective statement: e.g., Kaiten is pretty clean and slick, to me.
Plus, there's tons of unified email apps out there, such as AquaMail and others. Just search the Play store for possible hits.

the default email app in the tab is good enough. i don't know about k9 mail. you're trying to which email provider?
Moxier Mail or Touchdown are the best for exchange on android. They're not free though.
Never did work for me either. The only reason I wanted a replacement of the native Email client was the inability of the native client to word wrap the long lines properly (or none at all). So all those branded company emails eventually appear so tiny and unreadable unless you zoom them in. K-9 never worked because our company server has Exchange 2010. I'm going to try Moxier Mail, and let's see if that works ( or works better)
Moxier mail wraps text perfectly on my phone. Haven't tried it with the Tab but I'm sure it'll be fine.
Well, I end up using Touchdown..so far, it has been good, at least I can copy and paste...thanks to all the input..

Sorry to revive a slightly old thread, but this is relevant
K-9 is real close to having exchange 2010 functionality. (I'm to new to post a link to the google code repository for proof)
I enjoy Enhanced Email. Its real good.
You should really REALLY try the default email app on Gingerbread. Judging by your signature, you are still using your tab on Froyo.
The eMail client that comes with Gingerbread on the tab is far superior to the initial one that came with the tab. To be specific, inline images load faster, you can respond to meeting requests and it feels a lot more responsive.
The zoom problem is not fixed, but in my experience it happens less than it used to. This is subjective as I may receive far fewer messages that cause this behavior, but I'm just saying... give it a try, it won't hurt.
Cheers,
C.
But it doesn't show html emails.
Mine does show all emails, HTML and plain text alike, including embedded interactive objects such as flash. It actually uses the same browser webkit as Chrome, though it has some performance issues in this respect (not as smooth as the browser IMHO).
PS: inline images cannot be placed inside plain text emails (I make references to such objects in my previous post) :-D

Anyone know if K-9 is now real real close to having exchange 2010 functionality? K-9 seems to be the 'defacto' email support option for smartwatches, so I might use it just to grab emails for a smartwatch.

E-mail App

Hi, guys
I'm looking for a good Mail App that is clean and simple.
GMail: GMail is quite good. But I don't like the fact, that I can't deactivate to group the E-Mails. If I have more E-mails, I want them seperatly and not grouped like in Gmail.
Stock Android E-mail: This is an app I'm looking for. Simple and clean interface. Only problem is, that I can't push Mail to other folders.
An app I like is k-9. But it takes a long time to configurate it. Does anybody know an app that is in between the stock e-mail app and K-9? Would be great if I could add more than one account and switch between. (like HTCMail)

I'm going to have to agree with those suggesting Enhanced Email...just switched from K9 recently and it's great so far. A big plus is that the dev is often in the chat/forums on EE's site helping figure out any problems and working on requested features.

Thanks everyone! The support for my app Enhanced Email has been incredible. I continue to give back to the community here on XDA and via Twitter just as a show of gratitude. Not sure how many people know I got my start here with my Email app which eventually made it on to the market.
Enhanced Email
Anyone knows wad is the settings for exchange hotmail & live accounts? How to set up?
Seven emaiil client is one of the best, auto setup for Hotmail, gmail, yahoo. and only real yahoo push mail client(third party), Home screen widget support too.
Now a days removed from market, you can find it from XDA too,
I can update here, but as new user i am not eligible to paste outside link

Which program do you use for gmail?

Hello there,
i use the program gmail that comes by default, and i think it´s great.
But, one thing i´ve noticed is, this software doens´t work with the multiscreen. Only messaging. But messagin it´s not push email, but only sync from time to time, which it´s diferent from the gmail program.
Which one do you use for gmail? the messaging program, or the gmail app?
many thanks
By messaging app is that the stock samsung email app? If so that's what I use only because I monitor 4 email accounts. If I had only a Gmail account to monitor I'd use the stock Gmail app. I find it much better then all other email apps put out by the companies.
Yes it is.
But if we want to use the multiscreen we have to use the messaging app, which its not push, But the gmail one
Sent from my GT-I8150 using Tapatalk 2
Correct. For push you need stock Gmail app. However I think in jb someone said there are more options for multiscreen. Or on the Note 2 essentially you could do any apps. Hopefully that will make its way to us.

WHOAHHHH!!! Samsung really listens.......i.mean.REALLY.listens........WHOAHHHHHHHHHHHH :good:
The samsung email app does work with push on gmail.
Just configure as "exchange server" and use m.google.com as adress.
Disable calendar syncing at next dialogues (as it would sync your gmail calendar twice)
I will continue to use the gmail app, I'm holding out until the note2 like multiscreen update.... anyway, the email app does have interesting features, like rich text editing and pasting graphics inside a mail

E-mail

In using outlook. Com for e-mail but I would like more than just a notification in the gear. What do you guys use? I am not saying much luck with the stock e-mail app.

Are you on a Corporate Exchange Server for your Outlook? The email on watch for Gear 1 was broken, again, from the last update. I recommend Cloudmagic, as it brings the email text to my Gear again. Give it a shot.

I just switched from K9 (only thing useful on my last watch) to the stock email app on my Galaxy S3 (running 4.2). I can now read the entire contents of emails once I open the notification and can refer to them in the email app. BEST FUNCTIONALITY *EVER*!! It's really useful to just pull up the email without pulling out the phone (or even having the phone on me). My boss is tech resistant, but even he thought it was really cool.

There are a few things that could be amiss. Are you using one of the supported phones? Do you have the notifications for email turned on in the Gear Manager?
I've heard that "starting over" will sometimes work. Unpair the watch from the phone. Factory reset the watch. Uninstall Gear Manager. Reinstall Gear Manager. Pair the watch to the phone. Re-enable notifications. ymmv.
Good luck.
I changed the custom rom and now it is working great

Stock email app NOT gmail

Anyone know how to get the old stock email app working on pixel? I've installed an old apk but as soon as I try and open it, it says to use Gmail and points me that way. Makes me feel like I'm using an iPhone.

Wow. Thats too bad. Guess I'll have to wait for a custom rom to use it again. Its still in Cyanogenmod builds, maybe its in gapps. Anyhow, I really liked keeping it separate from gmail.
Yeah. You may be able to build it from source from CM but sounds like a pain.

Why not just download another email app. Like Outlook, that one works well with all email accounts.
I'd strongly recommend K9 as an email app. Been using that since my G1 and it's still outstanding!
K9 or blue mail works great, I've used k9 for a long time, just switched over to blue, very hard to decide which one is the keeper ?

These guys are not actually correct.
The "stock" email program STILL EXISTS, and in fact, is actually INSTALLED on Pixel devices from factory!
BUT, google has merged its UI into the GMAIL program.
So you have two options if you want to use the "stock" email program;
1) Set up your IMAP email account through the GMAIL program,
2) DISABLE the gmail program, and guess what happens? The "email" program launcher icon shows up in your launcher!
HOWEVER, it really is a much better idea to use k9mail instead. It is far more feature rich.

Neat, I didn't know that! Still gonna use K9 myself but that's pretty cool!

That's a good find but unfortunately doesn't work for me. My mail server wont play nice with the Gmail app so I can't even get it configured. I still tried to disable Gmail but didn't see the stock email app. I then installed a stock email apk and it installed but still gives me the same screen saying that Gmail is the new everything app

Aquamail Pro is nice, arguably better than K9, although it was just acquired by MobiSystems so who knows how future updates are going to look. Large companies acquiring small, indie developer projects does not usually end well for the app.
Security-wise, Aquamail, K9 and Nine are about the only third-party apps I'd consider.
I know this thread is now almost 2 months old.
what I"m looking for is a mail app to keep my gmail separate from my 2 exchange emails - and it MUST integrate with a calendar widget.
I haven't found one that works best. I liked the old "Mail" app - I could left swipe to delete, right to options - all your reply, reply-all, forward options right at the top of each message, rather than the options dots.
Outlook won't get sucked into my Google Calendar.

Aquamail - I tried just about every top email app. Also needed it to support Calendar, works perfect. I use the paid version and can't imagine a more customizable Android email client. Absolutely outstanding. Extremely reliable too.
Use Nine for Exchange. I've been using it for years, best Android email client.

Yeah, definitely for Exchange. I still prefer K9 for IMAP (easy to have lots of aliases) but Nine is definitely where it's at for Exchange. Great integration to Calendar and more!
It seems that only the Lollipop branch of the stock email app 7.0-x is merged into Gmail. Earlier versions of the stock email app, targeted for KitKat like email app 6.3-x, are still working. I am on CM 11 and the fresh installed email app 6.3-1218562 seems functional and wants to be configured with an email account.
However, regarding security concerns it may be still better to use an alternative mail client like K9. I ask me now how that one performs on low-level phones with weak hardware. All these super-rich features of that nice K9 mailing app needs surely hardware power. I noticed a similar behavior also on more recent Gmail versions. These are far more hardware hungry then older ones. That's the reason why I like the stock email app, - it seems lightweight and fast.
